Chapter 271: Northern Massacre, Southern Iron Wall
Just as Yi Xifeng and Xia Mingfei were riding in a porter's car and rushing towards the western district of Luoye City, Zhang Yanyan and Lu Huahua also found out about Ji Rentu's latest movements.
Ji Rentu was originally Ji Shenfu's younger brother, and his mansion was next to that garden. Although the area was not comparable to that of the Lord Commander, its decoration and specifications were extremely high in the entire Luoye City.
However, the bald man never came to this mansion. He spent most of his time in the military camp. Of course, it was not the military camp of the city guards, but the military camp of the black-armored cavalry he commanded.
There are 8,000 standing troops under the command of Luoye City, including 6,000 city guards and 2,000 black armored cavalry.
As the name suggests, the city guard is the armed force stationed in Luoye City. It consists of six guard generals each leading a thousand soldiers, so the common people call it the "Six Gates".
The black armored cavalry is more like an armed force formed by Luoye County to deal with external forces. In addition to Ji Rentu, there are also four cavalry generals under his command and a total of five strong knights in the chivalry realm. The people in the city call them "black cavalry".
Therefore, although the Black Cavalry is not as numerous as the Six Gates, both parties are important components of the military, and they usually do not interfere with each other.
The Black Cavalry's military tent camp is located in the valley to the north of the city. The reason why it was originally chosen to establish the camp was mainly because of the terrain. This valley is less than twenty miles away from the north gate of Luoye City.
journey, and further north through this valley, you will enter a huge plain landform.
This valley invisibly forms a gourd mouth, and its strategic significance is particularly prominent. Furthermore, if the black cavalry camp is built here, it will also be extremely convenient for daily cavalry training. After all, there is a vast plain to the north of the camp.
The cavalry can be allowed to gallop freely.
Compared with the Black Rider's camp, the six-door camp is completely different. It is located in the southern area of Luoye City, right in Luoye City.
The leader of these six gates is Qin Kai, who is known as "Luoye County's No. 1 City Guarding General". This "Iron Wall General" is not only the person in charge among the six guarding generals, but also among the Luoye City's army,
People also vaguely compare Ji Rentu, who has the title of "human slaughter", with it.
As the saying goes, people in the north are slaughtered and iron walls are built in the south.
This shows the appeal of these two people in the military circles of Luoye City.
This is why Yi Xifeng and his seven-member team of horse thieves were initially made things difficult for them. After all, that was their label, and they were Ji Rentu's people, so they would naturally be involved in this unnecessary dispute.
…
Zhang Yanshi briefly sorted out the information in his hand, and gradually became clear about the current status of Luoye City's military community.
"Then let's go to the Black Cavalry camp outside the city to investigate first?" Lu Huahua asked aloud.
The heroic young man pondered for a moment and murmured: "If things are really as we found out, and these two people are committed to becoming the best in the military, then I guess we can't find that person in the Black Rider camp at this time.
Bald!"
"Oh? How do you say this?" the short-haired girl asked obviously curiously.
Zhang Yanshi randomly found a stall, sat down there, and said with a smile: "Think about it, Ji Rentu led two thousand cavalry to attack Yinren Village, but we were defeated and returned with a lot of losses. You
Do you think General Iron Wall, as a competitor, will give up?"
Lu Huahua also came to the other side and poured a bowl of tea for her son. After hearing the other party's analysis, she nodded and agreed: "Of course I'll beat up the drowned dog!"
"Yes, even if he doesn't add insult to injury, this Qin Kai has the overall situation in mind and is die-hardly loyal to Ji Shenfu."
"Then what should we do now?" the girl asked doubtfully.
Zhang Yanshi greeted the waiter with his hand, and said with a smile: "Wait for the news from Xifeng, let's order something to eat? I heard that the sauerkraut noodles here are good!"
Lu Huahua glared at the young man, but looking at the sun, it was already close to noon. Looking at the smiling waiter, he nodded and said: "Okay, bring me a basket of assorted steamed buns and a plate of roasted golden cicadas."
…
Yi Xifeng looked at the increasingly lively streets around him and the clothes of these people, and could tell that most of the people living here were in good condition.
Soon the lean coachman led the two of them to the entrance of a gambling house.
Seeing that this gambling house occupies a large area, I guess the boss behind it must have good background. The young man looked up and saw a large gold plaque at the door with four words "Shahe Gambling House" written on it.
The fair young man glanced at the coachman beside him and walked into the gambling house.
Logically speaking, a child of his age would be stopped from entering a gambling house. Their industry also has its own rules, which is not to do business with children.
However, due to his martial arts skills, Yi Xifeng is no longer short, about 1.7 meters tall. It is difficult for people who are not familiar with him to guess his true age.
When you open the curtain of the gambling house, the first thing you see is a screen, which is evenly painted with gold powder and has a huge word "Gamble" written in cinnabar in the middle!
Soon a broker from the gambling house came up to him and asked him what he wanted to play.
"I went to trouble with a porter, but he left me here. Do you think I should file a complaint against him?" Yi Xifeng said, squinting his eyes.
"Complain?" The gambling shop employee looked at the fair-skinned boy in confusion, but after thinking about it he no longer hesitated.
"Of course there is a lot of right and wrong in a gambling house. If you are looking for right and wrong, this is the right place." The man explained with a smile.
"What I'm talking about is hard to find, and it costs money to find it," the young man continued.
The broker smiled calmly and replied: "It's easy to talk to, I guarantee your satisfaction!"
"What on earth is there?" Yi Xifeng said seriously.
The man smiled and said: "There are dice rolling, pai gow pushing, and guessing..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, the fair boy said coldly: "It seems you don't have anything I want to play with!" After that, he ignored the broker man and turned around and walked straight out.
The man's eyes flickered, and when Yi Xifeng was about to leave the gambling house, he called out to him.
"Since this guest officer is here in a carriage, there is no need to leave in a hurry. Go to the inner hall with me to have a cup of tea. I will call the coachman for you!"
Yi Xifeng paused and let out a sigh of relief. He knew that this time he made the right bet.
In fact, when he found the lean coachman, he was a little worried. The reason why he looked for that man was mainly because of his size. Compared with other coachmen, that man was so thin.
It stands to reason that it is impossible to support oneself by pulling carts. Zhao Xiaoguang and Zhao Daguang, two of the fair boy's subordinates, used to be cart drivers. Yi Xifeng had some understanding of this business.
So this lean driver must have other ways of making money...
And until he entered this large-scale gambling house, Yi Xifeng was always thinking, would such a large gambling house have such an irregular project?
However, he was not disappointed. Sure enough, gambling houses were just like bathing centers. No matter how large they were, they still had irregular problems, which were just hidden shallowly or deeply.
